Splash snafu

Howdy,
I open a mainstack splash which does some visual antics (wiil eventually
setup everything), sends itself to an offscreen location, then opens the GUI
project substack.
If I don't open the substack (comment out the last line), it works fine, but
if I open the substack, I get an error:
" executing at 1:23:41 AM
Type Chunk: can't find background
Object OutlookInn_Splash
Line get the loc of group id 1006
Hint stack "/Macintosh HD/Desktop
Folder/RevStacks_Mine/OutlookInn_Splash.rev"
...which refers to 3rd line of the *mainstack* openStack handler. The script
has already executed and is done.
Why is opening the substack trying to rerun the script of the mainstack?
The substack has no scripts.
Here's the script:
on openStack
get the screenrect
set the loc of this stack to ((item 3 of it)/2,(item 4 of it)/2)
get the loc of group id 1006
subtract 2 from item 2 of it
wait 5
set the loc of group id 1006 to it
repeat 3
add 4 to item 2 of it
wait 5
set the loc of group id 1006 to it
subtract 4 from item 2 of it
wait 5
set the loc of group id 1006 to it
end repeat
add 2 to item 2 of it
wait 5
set the loc of group id 1006 to it
wait 3 seconds
lock screen
hide group id 1006
unlock screen with visual effect dissolve
lock screen
hide fld 1
unlock screen with visual effect dissolve
set the loc of this stack to "-1000,-1000"
set the visible of group id 1006 to true
set the visible of fld 1 to true
wait 5
--open stack "OutlookInn_Top" --Here's the problem
end openStack
TIA,
Ken N.
